Lotus has been launching some amazing products in their makeup line and this primer is one of their new launches. They have launched Lotus Ecostay Insta Smooth Perfecting Primer which is what I am going to review today –
About the primer:
This unique Oil-Free Formula smoothens the fine lines, combats excess dryness and reduces the appearance of large pores. It instantly prepares the skin for perfect make-up application holding it for long lasting satin – smooth finish.
Vitamin E acts as an anti-oxidant which helps fights the signs of aging and protects from sun damage.
Packaging – It comes in a cute transparent plastic tube with a screw cap. It is very travel friendly and I love carrying such tubes in my bag for travel.
Texture & formula – This primer is a clear gel with no fragrance. It is easy to spread and disappears within seconds of application, leaving the skin soft, matte and super smooth. It is a silicone based primer so if you have sensitive skin, I would say do a patch test first.
Lotus Ecostay Insta Smooth Perfecting Primer would be great primer for oily skin as it completely mattifies the skin and creates a smooth and even base for the foundation.
Dry skinned girls should stay away from this as it would definitely make it more dry. I wish more brands came up with primers for dry skin as well.
This primer definitely enhances the staying power of the foundation on oily skin. It hides open pores to an extent too. It did not cause any irritation or break my skin out fortunately.
Lotus Ecostay Insta Smooth Perfecting Primer is priced at Rs. 675
Overall Thoughts:
It is a great oil free primer that suits combination-oily skin well. It would be nice for summers when makeup tends to melt and we need something more mattifying. I have a normal skin and I found it ok and not too great. Lotus Ecostay Insta Smooth Perfecting Primer is decently priced and the quantity is good too.
Rating : 3.5/5
